We know California-based Icon for its high-quality reinterpretations of classic SUVs – almost clinically clean vehicles, durable but with modern technology hidden under their classic looks. But now Icon has a new, darker range of vehicles to unleash…
…one-offs that Icon calls the ‘Derelicts’. These are cars that you’d perhaps expect to see at the junkyard, or maybe as a ‘Cuba Cruiser’ spotted in Havana. They can even be seen as the perfect antidote to “restoring things too far”: appearing weatherbeaten and rotten – but technically vital and potent, completely rebuilt from the chassis up.
You’ll either get it, or you won’t. But do watch the video to make up your mind.

Track Rivals: Ferrari and Maserati exhibition in Modena
These days, Ferrari and Maserati are united as sister brands – but there were times in history when their respective racing stables were in fierce competition. The latest exhibition at the Museo Casa Enzo Ferrari in Modena – The Great Challenges, Ferrari – Maserati – brings that era of history back to life.
For the exhibition The Great Challenges, Ferrari – Maserati, 19 legendary Italian racing cars of both breeds have been brought together from that time, cars such as the Ferrari 340MM, Maserati 250F, Ferrari 330 P and the Maserati A6 GCS/53, to name but four. As well as the cars themselves, the exhibition will also tell the story of each car and its racing history, with interactive screens to help visitors understand the historical context and allow them to feel truly immersed in this golden era of racing.
